Add USE_BRK-specific code in malloc_init_hard() to allow the first
internally used chunk to start at the beginning of the heap, rather
than at a chunk-aligned address.  This reduces mapped memory somewhat
for 32-bit architectures.

Add the arena_run_link_t type and use it wherever a run object is only
used as a ring 'header'.  This saves approximately 40 kB of memory per
arena.

Remove an obsolete (no longer used) code path from base_alloc(), which
supported the internal allocation of objects larger than the chunk
size.

Enhance chunk_dealloc() to cache chunk addresses for all deallocated
chunks.  This has no impact for most programs, but has the potential
to reduce VM map fragmentation for programs that use huge
allocations.
